Removing old kernels attempts to remove more than kernels...

Hi,

I am attempting to remove old kernels from my system but "dnf erase <kernel-package>" wants to remove much more than just that kernel package. I wrote a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com but have gotten nowhere. This is the bug URL: 1761024 – removing old kernels wants to remove more than kernel packages

1761024 – removing old kernels wants to remove more than kernel packages
    



I want to keep the oldest kernel and remove the "newer" kernels. I don't want to just use "rpm --nodeps -e". That has gotten me into trouble in the past. I think that confuses dnf and then things just go downhill from there. rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest starts producing error messages about dependencies missing.

Here's a partial list of packages that dnf wants to remove:
